BBC Goes Web 2.0ish
The BBC have quietly made public their new web 2.0 style homepage. It looks good, but under Ubuntu + Firefox I´m finding it pretty slow.
Personally I see a performance hit when trying to drag a content box. Id find it interesting to discover whether or not this is because I’m using an old machine, because I’m using Firefox/Linux or if its just because this is a beta and isn’t ready yet.
Has anyone else tried it out? If you have access to a Windows machine check it out and compare the performance (I don’t at the mo as I’m not at work).

Hi Chris, Under Firefox in XP it takes a while for it to register I am moving a box. Other than that the site seems fine.

Thanks for taking a look Jason, Ive just been having another play with it, and the more I see it, the more I like it
Well done so far BBC!

Yeah, it’s slow to register movements for me under XP/firefox too.
I’m not keen on the colour scheme (and what are they playing at with the pink/black iPlayer?) and I’d like to be able to lose the large feature panel for stuff I want to see.
Still, well done to the BBC. I’d gladly sell my house and all it’s contents to help the BBC.
